Chandigarh, April 6

Former Chandigarh MP Pawan Kumar Bansal has accused the BJP of failing to control an increase in dog bite cases in the city.

The senior Congress leader said in 2023, dog bite cases in Chandigarh had crossed the 10,000-mark, whereas in the first three months of 2024, this figure has already reached 4,200 that makes it clear that the city was seeing a terrifying surge in such cases.

In a press statement, Bansal said: “The dog bite victims have been waiting for the compensation for four months, but the administration has not yet formed any committee to release the compensation. The BJP has no intention of doing any work for the public…”

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
